Atomic Bomb Exhibition to be held by Japan Atomic Energy Association
The Japan Atomic Energy Agency: The Japan Atomic Bomb Victims Association has requested that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs apply for support for the "Atomic Bomb Exhibition" to be held at the United Nations Headquarters, requesting some changes in the exhibition contents. I found out in the interview. The subject is an exhibition dealing with the nuclear accident, and a Ministry of Foreign Affairs official said that "detailed communication with the applicant cannot be answered."
Following the NPT = Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review meeting, which is held once every five years to determine the major direction of nuclear disarmament, the Japan Atomic Energy Association will report the actual situation of the atomic bombings on-site at the United Nations Headquarters in April. We are going to hold.
According to the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, we have applied for support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for holding the Atomic Bomb Exhibition, and in this exchange, a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested a change in the contents of the exhibition.
The two panels that deal with the accidents at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident were reported by a Ministry of Foreign Affairs official, "Peaceful use of nuclear power is a pillar of the NPT. Is not appropriate to deal with. "
According to the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, the atomic bomb exhibition was held five years ago in conjunction with the NPT Review Conference, but the accident was handled, but no change was required from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sponsored at that time.
`` I think that the panel of the nuclear accident deals with the effects of radiation on humans that are common to the damage caused by the atomic bomb and should be exhibited, '' said Secretary-General of the Japan Atomic Energy Association, Kito Kiichi, without support. The A-bomb exhibition will also be held.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs official said that the sponsorship was under review and said, "We cannot answer the detailed communication with the applicant."
